Peak oil doesn't necessarily mean peak energy. A new energy economy may be possible by slowly  restructuring to a more recyclable and renewable circular process.

Energy is abundant right here in the local solar system. The sun has far more than is needed for the human superorganism. Cities can be designed better. Civilization began with some smart-ass learning how to plant food and those not needed to harvest or hunt them congregated into the first cities and then invented politics and religion to the chagrin of many.

Cities became informatic centers and collective brains. They still are with land multiplied by skyscrapers to hold white collar work like insurance, sales, programming, and some forms of education. 

Religions are also social networks and economic ecosystems. 

A modern arcade is a temple is a library is a node is a sexual act is a play is a panchvishay is a book is a monastery is machine is an energy conversion pattern is a reminder is a copier is a thread of the social organism operating system is identity is a store is a battery is a storage device.

Platforms are that which abstract away details. Like an iron/steel frame many things in software architecture 'hang off' the main infrastructure. Like the stable structures in The Game of Life algorithm there are hard points in programming that can be built and/or don't change.

Don't forget most of humanity is on the afroeurasian supercontinent. Many of the islands are just galapagos effect economies.

  

Like a single cell organism a religion can thrive being in one city in one building like Eckankar and Unity.

Many things are repeated and are everything good. Good beautiful and oneness Thomas Aquinas was right about.

Our relationship to ugliness and falsehood is profound. Bullshit is necessary. Consider the Mormon temples. They are temples yo bullshit. Out of actual bullshit comes beautiful flowers.

Simple information is generally easier to carry on into the future. Classic video games carry on not just on nostalgia but a simplicity that comes from full understanding of their nature because humans become addicted to that which is simple and preserve that which is simple as can be seen from animals produced for meat and beer and wine.

The emojis are the symbols of human mental life and the Platonic realm they live in.

Philosophy creates informatic sieves of Truth. A book of falsehoods would be useful actually.
